LONDON: The Oxford University Press (OUP) apologised on
Friday for
offending the people of Bangalore with errors in one of its
dictionaries, saying it was freezing warehouse sales and making
corrections.
The 2005 edition of the Oxford Concise Dictionary of World Place Names
reportedly made mistakes about the language and history of Bangalore.
The OUP said it was "deeply sorry" for the errors.
"We have frozen stock and stopped selling from our warehouses, and
will be pulping the remaining copies," it said in a statement.
Well, correcting the mistake on Wikipedia would have been way much
easier! One point for us!
